An opioid-like system regulating feeding behavior in C. elegans [PDF]
, 2015 Neuropeptides are essential for the regulation of appetite. Here we show that neuropeptides could regulate feeding in mutants that lack neurotransmission from the motor neurons that stimulate feeding muscles. We identified nlp-24 by an RNAi screen of 115

Ligand-Specific Regulation of the Endogenous Mu-Opioid Receptor by Chronic Treatment with Mu-Opioid Peptide Agonist [PDF]
, 2013 Since the discovery of the endomorphins (EM), the postulated endogenous peptide agonists of the mu-opioid receptors, several analogues have been synthesized to improve their binding and pharmacological profiles.

Bioactive Peptides: Synthesis, Sources, Applications, and Proposed Mechanisms of Action
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 Bioactive peptides are a group of biological molecules that are normally buried in the structure of parent proteins and become active after the cleavage of the proteins.

Investigating the KNDy hypothesis in humans by co-administration of kisspeptin, neurokinin B and naltrexone in men [PDF]
, 2016 Context: A subpopulation of hypothalamic neurons co-localise three neuropeptides namely kisspeptin, neurokinin B (NKB) and dynorphin collectively termed KNDy neurons. Animal studies suggest they interact to affect pulsatile GnRH release (KNDy hypothesis);

Dopamine-D1 and δ-opioid receptors co-exist in rat striatal neurons [PDF]
, 2006 Cocaine’s enhancement of dopaminergic neurotransmission in the mesolimbic pathway plays a critical role in the initial reinforcing properties of this drug. However, other neurotransmitter systems are also integral to the addiction process.

Bioactive peptides in storage proteins
Grasas y Aceites, 2000 A review on the bioactive peptides described so far in storage proteins, mainly milk proteins, has been carried out. Bioactive peptides are small amino acid sequences inactives in the native protein, but that can be liberated after hydrolysis of these ...

Endogenous opioid systems alterations in pain and opioid use disorder
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2022 Decades of research advances have established a central role for endogenous opioid systems in regulating reward processing, mood, motivation, learning and memory, gastrointestinal function, and pain relief.
